MORRIS COUNTY — New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials today announced a resurfacing project on I-80 that will require lane closures in both directions in Morris County.
Beginning Tuesday, April 12 from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and continuing for the next few weeks, NJDOT’s contractor, Intercounty Paving Associates, LLC. is scheduled to temporarily close one lane of I-80 in each direction for drainage and concrete curb work in Netcong, Ledgewood, Roxbury and Mount Arlington.
Overnight milling and paving will begin from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. weeknights once drainage and curb work is completed. The project will repave I-80 westbound from Route 46 / Ledgewood Avenue to the Route 206 interchange and I-80 eastbound from Route 46 / Ledgewood Avenue to Howard Boulevard / CR615. Additional lane closures during off-peak hours may be necessary.
The $4.2 million state-funded I-80 resurfacing project is expected to be completed by fall 2016. NJDOT has designed the milling and paving project to advance with temporary lane closures, reopening after each shift. Any required detours will be coordinated with the local authorities.
Variable message signs and detour signs are being utilized throughout the project limits to provide advance notification to motorists of all traffic pattern changes associated with the resurfacing project. Throughout the project, NJDOT will provide information before upcoming road or ramp closures.

PARSIPPANY — The Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills announces a comprehensive plan and partnership for safety between the Board of Education and the Township.
For the past 14 years, Student Resource Officers in both area high schools have met with much success.
Through the SRO program, officers have been valuable resources to school staff and have fostered positive relationships with students. They have been helpful in developing strategies to resolve problems and have led by example to promote a positive image of law enforcement officers.
Mayor James Barberio said, “To enhance the current SRO program, the position of Director of School Security has been created to coordinate and provide additional, experienced support in the schools. This appointment is being filled by Police Lt. Brian Dowd. This new position is another example of the Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Department and Board of Education’s determination to support my commitment to improving the quality of life for Parsippany’s children.” Lt. Dowd will be available to the district 24 hours/a day, seven days a week. His job will be to supervise the SROs and any elementary school security personnel in addition to serving as liaison between the schools, the police department and the Youth Counselor. In addition, two patrol officers will become SROs and be will be housed in Central Middle School and Brooklawn Middle School.
These officers have been specially trained and will be integral participants in the elementary schools as well. A juvenile counselor has been added to the program to assist with family and juvenile matters. The strong message to students will be that they are in a safe environment with people who care about them and who are responsible for keeping them safe.
Council President Lou Valori
Council President Louis Valori stated “Parsippany-Troy Hills takes every precaution possible to protect our students and education staff members.”
“While our schools have safety plans in place — the SRO program will ensure school emergency response efforts are well coordinated among students, school officials and the police and departments. The SROs will be effective school-based partners for students, teachers and school support staff in enhancing security for everyone in our schools,” said Valori.
The wide range of responsibilities of the SRO’s will also include: investigations; assisting with bullying and harassment prevention; cyber-bullying; conflict resolution; mentoring; assisting students and families; education in the areas of drug abuse, social media; drivers ed.; programs to identify and manage students with behavioral issues before such students become involved with the criminal justice system; and the practice of safety drills.
“Our number one priority is our children. We are taking steps to maximize school safety and security by engaging in our shared services agreement with the Board of Education,” said Barberio.
Parsippany-Troy Hills is at the forefront and I take great pride in being the first such shared services agreement of this magnitude in the State. This could not have been accomplished without the cooperation of Council President, Dr. Louis Valori and Council members, Michael DePierro, Loretta Gragnani and Paul Carifi.
Mayor Barberio said “I also want to thank Dr. Leroy Seitz for his vision and support with this project along with Business Administrator, Dave Corso, the Board of Education including: President, Frank Neglia; Vice President Andy Choffo; Fran Orthwein; George Blair; Tim Berrios; Judy Mayer; Suzy Golderer, Allison Cogen and Joe Cistaro.”
Their roles were equally instrumental in getting this program up and running in the school system. By working together, we have achieved a wonderful thing for the students of Parsippany.”

The pinwheels represent our commitment to safe, healthy childhoods for all children in our community.
The Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany is participating in the annual Pinwheels For Prevention event. Karen DeChristopher, Young Children Priority One, has placed signs and pinwheels throughout Parsippany. These pinwheels represent abused children of Parsippany-Troy Hills.
Why Pinwheels for Prevention? For decades, market research consistently has shown that the public views child abuse and neglect as a serious problem. As a national organization whose mission is “to prevent the abuse and neglect of our nation’s children,” Kiwanis’ emphasis is to transform that awareness into action. We now have that opportunity through the pinwheel, which reminds us of childlike notions and stands for the chance at the healthy, happy and full lives all children deserve.
Kiwanis views this as part of their mission statement “changing the world one child and one community at a time” When you drive throughout Parsippany and see these pinwheels, take time to reflect on all the abused children in the world.

Kiwanis President Connie Keller, Robert Keller, Gordon Meth, Michele Dabal, NJ Sharing Network and Kiwanis Secretary Karen Gajewski
PARSIPPANY — Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany Foundation made a donation to NJ Sharing Network on Thursday, April 7.April is National Donate Life Month.
NJ Sharing Network encourages all communities throughout the state to join us to celebrate National Donate Life Month in April and National Donate Life Blue and Green Day. Through your participation, you will join thousands of businesses, hospitals, schools, community groups and elected officials across the nation who demonstrate their support of organ and tissue donation and bring much-needed attention to this critical issue.
Kiwanis President Bob Keller, Gordon Meth, Michele Dabal, NJ Sharing Network and Kiwanis President Connie Keller. Bob received a kidney transplant and his donor was his wife, Connie.
NJ Sharing Network is a non-profit, federally designated organ procurement organization. This means they are responsible for the recovery of organs and tissue for the nearly 5,000 New Jersey residents currently awaiting transplantation.
They are also part of the national recovery system, which is in place for the more than 122,000 people on waiting lists.
NJ Sharing Network operates 24/7/365 with a team of over 150 highly trained and dedicated members on staff. The Governing and Foundation Boards are made up of a diverse group of individuals from both public and private sectors, across a variety of disciplines, and many of whom have been touched by donation including donor families and recipients. They bring great experience and insight to the important and life-saving work that we do.
NJ Sharing Network was formed in June 1987 when three New Jersey organ procurement organizations merged.
Later that year, legislation passed by both state and federal governments, known as Required Request/Assured Option, began requiring hospitals to present the option of donation to family members of potential donors.
Since then, NJ Sharing Network and the Foundation has set out to educate the general public about how transplantation can save lives with the goal of increasing the number of organ donors.
By working closely with hospitals and transplant centers, and increasing awareness with education tools and the media, the number of organs recovered in New Jersey for transplant has quadrupled since NJ Sharing Network was founded. Through supporting the hospital partners, medical examiners and funeral directors in the identification, referral and care of potential organ and tissue donors, they realize the mutual goal of saving and enhancing lives through organ and tissue donation.
Their fully accredited “state of the art” transplant laboratory performs histocompatibility testing of organ donors and recipients. The laboratory also plays a critical role in the pre and post-transplant evaluation, and successful transplantation of highly sensitized individuals who would be difficult to treat under general conditions.
The Family Services Division provides care during and after a donor family’s experience. Family Services also addresses unique issues related to seeking consent for organ and tissue donation.
NJ Sharing Network’s goal is to educate New Jersey residents about the life-saving benefits of organ and tissue donation and transplantation, so they can discuss donation with their families and make the personal decision to register as a donor. (Click here to register as a donor).
In addition, they work closely with state lawmakers to pass legislation, such as the landmark 2008 Hero Act which mandates donation education in public high school curriculums, for public institutes of higher learning and as a condition for graduation for professional nursing and medical school programs.
Volunteers are at the heart of community outreach. Volunteers help educate the public about organ donation and transplantation by participating in community events, speaking at houses of worship and civic organizations, and encouraging local organizations and businesses to display donor registry brochures and other educational information on organ and tissue donation.

The Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany Foundation Inc. awards grants from the proceeds of various annual fundraisers. Applications are reviewed three times during the year at Foundation meetings. If an immediate response is needed, this should be indicated on the grant application. Grant applications can be downloaded by clicking here.
The Foundation does not donate to individuals and awards are not made for purely personal needs such as training courses or scholarships.

The Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany meets at the Empire Diner, 1315 Route 46. You are invited to attend a meeting every Thursday morning at 7:15 a.m. at
We hope you will be able to join us to learn more about Kiwanis and see how you fit into the picture. Newcomers and visiting clubs always welcome!

PARSIPPANY — Parsippany Hills High School Project Graduation was chosen by Jersey Mike’s, Smith Road, on Wednesday, March 30 to donate 100% of the day’s sales.
Jersey Mike’s Subs, known for its authentic fresh sliced/fresh grilled subs, asks customers to eat a sub and help a local charity.
This year, the national sub shop chain joined forces with more than 180 local charities for the company’s 6th Annual March “Month of Giving” fundraising campaign. Last year’s Month of Giving raised more than $3 million for more than 150 different charities nationwide and this year Jersey Mike’s hopes to raise even more.
During the month of March, everyone was invited to come into Jersey Mike’s restaurant and make a donation to that location’s designated charity partner, Parsippany Hills High School Project Graduation. Other charities at other Jersey Mike’s locations include hospitals, youth organizations, food banks and more.
The campaign culminated in the nationwide event, Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 30 when 100 percent of the day’s sales – every single dollar – is donated to the local partner charity. This year Parsippany Hills High School Project Graduation was chosen by Parsippany’s Jersey Mike’s location. Jersey Mike’s “Month of Giving” donated a total of $6,855.55 to Project Graduation. This included all tips for the month of March, plus 100 percent of all sales for the March 30 Day of Giving.
“I would like to extend a personal invitation to come in and enjoy a Jersey Mike’s sub during our Month of Giving,” said Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike’s founder and CEO, who started the company when he was only 17 years old. “This year, as we celebrate 60 years in business, we hope to raise more than $3.5 million to help local charities. It’s gratifying to know that each new location brings more opportunities to make a difference in people’s lives.”
Jersey Mike’s has more than doubled in size in just three years. Last year, Jersey Mike’s opened 197 new locations and exceeded the 1,000-unit mark. Started in 1956, the sub chain now has more than 1,500 restaurants open and under development nationwide.
“Giving…making a difference in someone’s life” has been the mission of Jersey Mike’s from the beginning. Since 2010, Jersey Mike’s locations throughout the country have raised more than $14 million for worthy local charities and have distributed more than 1.5 million free sub sandwiches to help numerous causes.
Project Graduation is a program offered by many high schools in the United States, in which organized, adult-supervised and alcohol-free activities are offered as part of a post-graduation party, as an alternative to student-run events involving alcoholic beverages or other drugs.
